Camp DescriptionThe three main elements of the camp are described here. We explain what each of the three campcomponents (Enrichment, Academics, or Sports) entails.

Students are introduced to skills needed inlife as they grow. Enrichment courses aremeant to supplement regular schoolacademics. It is often the case with a busyschedule during school that children lack thetime needed to pursue hobbies or areas ofinterest. These courses kindle a child’sinterest in a certain hobby. If a child gets tolike a class, he or she will most likely startreading and gathering more information inthat area after the camp. These are learningopportunities that tap many of the children’ssenses and abilities.

Your child will get an excellent dose ofinstruction in the core subjects of English and

Math. In the subject of English, there will be afocus on the writing process. Students will beasked to express themselves in a structuredand fluently flowing manner. They will betaught the elements and process of writing ina systematic fashion. Writing is the ultimateform of human expression, and, in manysituations, it is by how well you write thatyour success is determined. Writingencapsulates all elements of a language,including reading, comprehension, usage,mechanics, and grammar. Student will alsopresent their writing by speaking publicly. InMath, the classes will remind students of thebasic skills of arithmetic and will sharpentheir problem solving skills. Students willlearn how to read and comprehend aproblem, and how to form a strategy to solveit, a skill missing in many schools’curriculums nowadays.

Children will play many activities under thesupervision of our coaches. The school willdecide on the daily schedule of sports.
